Not sure if this belongs here or on Serverfault.
I have a Sharepoint installation and several Active directory domains. In each domain, I have some Security groups.
I need to create Sharepoint groups that contain those Active Directory groups, but I need to inlude the actual users instead of just the security group. (So in I have Group G1 with Users U1 and U2, my Sharepoint group needs to contain U1 and U2 instead of G1).
Before I build something like this myself (which is rather straight-forward with a Timer Job and some Management forms), I just wonder if something like this is already built in to Sharepoint 2007? Or if they are existing solutions?
Googling brought only results about the normal AD<>SP Profile import, which works fine, but nothing about Security Groups.
This definitely isn’t built into SharePoint. It may be available in a third party solution, however my guess is it would be an uncommon requirement so unlikely.
I would probably develop the solution myself. It shouldn’t take long.
